Description I drew this about a year ago.....back when Mr. Obama was still the underdog on the outside looking in. What better time to submit this than now? Our Commander in Chief!

This is the TIME magazine cover from a while back......

A lot of time spent on this one..........around 100 hours (yes I'm slow). But I'm proud of it!

Charcoal.

You did a good job on this one, too bad its a little slanted. Really fine job rendering the lips and eyebrows.

Great job with this! I'm slow too, by the way. Don't even calculate the hours because it would just depress me ....

Also, I was wondering why you didn't put it up yet. You wanted to wait till he was pres!
